Is there ever a good car buying experience? A memorable one? A cool one? Yup. Ours was. Ironically true. My wife and I combined have bought many cars, motorcycles, and classics but nothing quite compares to our experience working with Nuvo. It goes something like this; we're on our way from Encinitas to Newport to look at a 997 911 at a dealership, which we were serious about after having gone back and forth with a sales person for a week and half. Minutes from arriving, and we're running late, my wife finds another car on her phone with same specs. It's her nature to make sure that we've exhausted all options before we buy a big ticket item no matter what. It turns out the 911 she had found had just been listed by a boutique car shop called Nuvo Trade. It's 6 PM on a Sat. She calls the number hoping to reach someone. A cool and calm gentleman by the name of Yul answers. He tells her about the car, how it was an all original one owner low miles 997 in immaculate condition but also how he and his partner were car enthusiasts in addition to selling cars. The thing was he had already left for the day BUT said he would check with his partner (Morgan) and see if they could arrange for us to swing by and see the car since we'd be up in Newport before heading back an hour south that evening. Arrangements were made and Morgan would meet us after dinner. "These dudes sound cool", my wife tells me and insists on wanting to at least see the car before we make any decisions. The rest is history. We knew immediately that the car was a gem but more importantly it was our conversation and interactions with Morgan that night (a full hour and half of it) and later Yul that made for a rewarding and effortless experience. These guys take pride in what they do and work hard for it. There's a sense of responsibility, intellect, incredible knowledge, good and fun customer service, transparency, and resourcefulness that is uncommon in the industry where most dealers are trying to flip cars. These guys get it, they care, and they're in it for the long haul. Dealers and their showrooms, conventional sales tactics, high sticker prices, and meaningless follow-ups by the sales manager to assure your 'satisfaction' are not for me or my wife. It has always given me knots in my stomach and something I've dreaded and avoided at all cost until now. Morgan and Yul crushed that reality and perception. Dudes that love and know (high performance) cars, who happen to sell them, that's them. Thank you! read more

GREAT EXPERIENCE! I recently purchased a very rare and beautiful BMW 5-Series that had sort of been a bucket list car for me and when I saw the listing for this particular car for sale, I inquired about it's availability and received a reply back almost instantly. Morgan, co-owner of Nuvo Trade Co, texted me back and even FaceTimed me so he could walk around the car for me and give me a brief tour! He was a total pro and disclosed as much as he possibly could about the vehicle. He also sent me the Carfax report within our initial contact. Morgan was very responsive by phone/text and always got back to me with any questions or concerns I had. He's a true car enthusiast and his passion and love for cars really shined through in our conversations. Buying a car sight unseen was a little intimidating but Morgan made the process so easy & settled any concerns I had. Morgan went above and beyond to really make this car ready for my ownership. He texted me pictures and videos of any and all questions I had about this BMW - no surprises! His partner Yul also made submitting forms of payment super easy through their website's payment processing system. Morgan arranged the shipping for me and I have to say I'm in love with this car and plan on enjoying many years of ownership with it. I consider myself a true car enthusiast. Morgan and Nuvo Trade Co really represent fellow car enthusiasts. I highly recommend Nuvo Trade Co to any discerning car enthusiast or anyone looking for a top quality driving machine!

Morgan was great to Do business with. From the first phone conversation I knew in my gut that this was someone I could trust. Purchased my second 996 from him recently. Morgan clearly knows what to look for in pre-owned Porsches (and other brands), and it shows in the quality of all his cars, and his knowledge about each car's history. This is a down to earth, responsive, patient, and likable guy to do business with. No pressure. No nonsense. Just someone who loves cars, and takes pride in what he does for a living. When I got to his office he had three silver 996s, and he gladly let me test drive the two that I was interested in. This gave me ample time to figure out which one was the right one. Tough choice because they were both beautiful. In fact all of his cars were beautiful! As I was driving away from his office for the first time in my new 996, the sunroof malfunctioned. Without hesitation he took the car back, brought it to a shop that specializes in sunroofs, and he paid to get it fixed. No questions asked. The sunroof worked during my test drive, so it was just one of those things. In an business that's filled with shady characters, Morgan is clearly someone trustworthy. read more

Purchased a beautiful C63s off Cars & Bids from Yul. This was my first time ever spending this kind of money in general, much less over a 3rd party site buying a car from half-way across the country. I told him off the bat after I successfully bid/won the car that this was my first time and he assured me he'd guide me through process which he did. Very responsive. When I had PPI performed there were a few codes thrown which he immediately took to a reputable shop that specializes in exotics and sent me a video of it at the parking lot of shop and sent yelp reviews to verify this place was legit - codes were of no concern and cleared immediately due to recent dead battery. Only concern after receiving vehicle was rattles in exhaust which after researching Merc forums is a common issue with this model. You have to be in Sport+ mode to open exhaust valves to hear the rattle as it's caused by flapping of valve when open. Yul says he never knew of this issue which if he didn't put car into this mode would have been true. The car had 41k mi so a few small things are to be expected and purchase price was in-line. Overall, happy with the entire experience. Would recommend. read more

The following statement is something I, unfortunately, can not say often enough. But in the case of Morgan and NuVo Trading, I wish I could take out a billboard with the message! ~~~The folks at NuVo Trade Company are honest and have integrity!!~~~ If I thought you folks would take the time to read it I could go on and on and on about Morgan and examples of his honesty and integrity but suffice to say, I was extremely impressed. Everything he stated he backed up with action. Promises made were fulfilled. The vehicle purchase was EXACTLY as represented...better actually! We also had the opportunity to speak to Joshua, when Morgan was out, and he too was kind, understanding and helpful. Even though we were dealing with Morgan on the vehicle purchase, Joshua took time out of his day to answer my questions. I have NEVER purchased a "pre-owned vehicle" from a Dealer...NEVER!!! Nor would I ever have thought I would. But Morgan and the folks at NuVo have broken the mold of the classic "Used Car Salesman"! They are Professional and go above and beyond for their customers. I highly recommend them!!!! read more

I am in the market for a Porsche and found a listing for a car that fit what I was looking for. Unfortunately its 1800 miles away. I contacted Morgan via email and he promptly replied ready to answer any questions. I am very particular in what I expect in a vehicle and Morgan was more than accommodating in fulfilling all my requests. He sent numerous pictures and showed all the details as if I was in person. He even video called with me to do a walk around and pointed out every flaw inside and outside the vehicle. He also went on a test drive with me aboard on the phone. Morgan is not a salesman, he's a car guy helping buyers find the right car. Nothing was hidden or left for me to find on my own. Other salesman get annoyed at spending the time for a customer to really pick apart a used car, not him. The most amazing part, I told him I was going to pass on the car. He didn't get mad or become rude. He messaged me updates on the reconditioning of some flaws and shared with me upcoming inventory. I'm almost certain that the car that I end up purchasing will be from Nuvo and Morgan. read more

Let start by saying, I live and die by reviews when it comes to purchases and yet I have never written one until now. My experience working with Morgan at Nuvo Trade was fantastic to say the least. I purchased an M3 and had it shipped to Texas. I was extremely nervous and hesitant to buy a car that I could not put my eyes on but Morgan helped me every step of the way answering every question and was very transparent and honest as well. He helped me set up a PPI with a shop of my choosing and again his transparency was on display because the PPI report identified all the things he had already disclosed to me. Morgan is a true professional and his customer service is unreal. I have bought may cars over the last +20 years but I would have never imagined my best experience would have been an out of state buy that I didn't see until it rolled off the trailer at my doorstep. Thanks Morgan and NuVo Trade! read more

Have been looking for a particular car for over a year now. I've looked at many, but never pulled the trigger. Nuvo had exactly what I was looking for. I bought this car out of state, site unseen (except for pictures). I was supplied a ton of pictures (including the undercarriage), service records, and a pre-purchase inspection. Morgan was unbelievable to work with. Incredibly responsive, very knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the whole process. When I received the car, it was everything I was led to believe. I would not hesitate to use Morgan and Nuvo again in the future, including a site unseen out of state transaction. Thanks again Morgan! This car is a BLAST! read more

From all the sales people I talked to in the search for the car of my dreams, Morgan was hands down the most attentive, cordial and very easy to work with. It's not easy purchasing a car from the other side of the Country and without seeing it, but Morgan made it as transparent as possible disclosing everything about the car, even videos test driving the car, everything possible to help me know more about it. When I received my car, it actually was exactly as he described. And to be the car of my dreams, it actually did surpass my expectations, I am more than happy. For my next purchase, I know where to look first... Morgan with Nuvo Trade. Thank you Morgan! read more

After much searching, I found the Porsche 911 I had been looking for. I worked with Morgan and he was super responsive. I had never purchased a car completely online before and Morgan was the perfect facilitator. Morgan was completely up front with the condition of the car and was able to provide details on the vehicle's history, which gave me confidence is making the purchase. Morgan supported all the scheduling for the PPI and shipping. Finally, Nuvo Trade was able to offer reconditioning services at very reasonable rates, all to ensure the vehicle was in it best condition before I took delivery. I would do business with Nuvo Trade Co. again. read more

I have been looking for the right Lamborghini Gallardo Spider 2010-2014 for a year. Found one on the internet 50 miles from my house at nuvotrade.com and Christopher Robert contacted me and setup a showing for a 2012 550-2. The car is exactly what I was looking for. The owner of the car wanted it gone, so Chis got me a great deal. My biggest issue was getting the loan for the car, but Chris has banks and credit unions he works with and not only did he put me in my dream car, he also was able to get me approved with an amazing loan. I was sending him paper work at 11pm at night and we got it done. I highly recommend Chris and his team. Geoff read more

Of course this deserves 5 stars!!! It's my business. I wanted to share this message because all of our positive 5 star reviews keep getting taken down. We have never paid for or solicited for a fake review. I would suggest you please look at all of our other 15 - 5 star reviews as these are real reviews that did not meet the " algorithm" requirements of Yelp! We are a team of car enthusiasts who created a company to simplify and create a new business model. A direct approach to car buying and selling. The best way I can describe it, a private party feel with a dealer license. Feel free to reach out to me anytime! Thank you read more

I had the best experience purchasing a car through Nuvo Trade! I was on the hunt for a F80 M3 and I happened to be taking my family to Disneyland and a couple days before we left I found one here. From the first time I met Morgan and seeing the vehicle then having them send me all the paperwork to sign on my phone so I could enjoy my vacation. I would buy another car from Nuvo Trade in a heartbeat! I've never had an easier car buying experience especially being out of town and having them schedule the inspection and also getting the vehicle ready for delivery! Thank you so much Morgan and Yul you guys are amazing! read more

Nuvo Trade advertised a used Volkswagen on craigslist. They also advertised as a "for sale by owner" not a dealer. This should of been my first clue to not buy from them. We met with Morgan, who sold us the car. He masked the smell of smoke with dryer sheets stuffed in the doors. We didn't notice the smell until days later after we purchased the car and the dryer sheets wore off. There were other issues with the car but I can't prove that he knew about them before hand. All together we have spent $2,500 on a used car that was purchased for $3,000. And we still have a smoky smell. Beware of sneaky salesmen. read more

I had a great experience purchasing my 2013 Tesla from Yul at Nuvo. I was treated with respect and care throughout the whole interaction. I was not very familiar with Tesla vehicles and Yul took the time to explain the main features of the vehicle and ensure I was thoroughly informed and comfortable with the car. There was no pressure applied and I was able to research each aspect of the car as explained by Yul. I found he was honest and forthright in his description of the S model P85+. His dealership will be my first choice for the purchase of my next vehicle. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with NuVo Trade, and Yul. My purchase was from out of state, and Yul was great at answering all my questions. The vehicle was in great condition, and I am enjoying ownership of the car I've always wanted. The communication was great, and all details of the purchase, from buying to transporting the vehicle were made convenient and easy for me by Yul. This is how car buying should be. Thanks again Yul, and the rest of NuVo Trade for making this purchase easy and so transparent. read more

Morgan and Yul, thank you so much for taking the very best care of us. These guys are the best!!! I inquired about a car for my wife and they found me exactly what I was looking for. They kept in constant contact guided me through financing the car, the whole thing went smooth. They handled everything for us. This has been our best experience buying a car so far. I highly recommend using Nuvo trade. These guys are straight forward, will tell you exactly how it is and are willing to help in anyway they can. Thanks again guys. read more

I was looking to sell my Lamborghini Urus and everyone wanted a ton of $$ to consign my vehicle. A friend recommended Chris at Nuvo Trade and he gave me the best deal anywhere hands down. With their 5 star Yelp review and speaking with Chris, I felt confident I chose the right place. Tuesday he picked up my vehicle and Wednesday (the next day) had it sold at the price I was looking for! Wow. If you need a good deal and a seamless process, go see Chris at Nuvo Trade, you won't be disappointed. Cheers Chris!! read more

I bought an older Porsche Carrera that had been fully and expertly refurbished. The price was very fair. The buying process was great. Morgan was totally transparent about the car. He shared the inspection report and repairs done to prepare the car for sale. Morgan even pointed out a flaw in the paint I had missed. The actual transaction was very convenient and quick compared to other dealers I have worked with. I would certainly work with Nuvo again and I recommend them to others. read more
